Toting your ain bikes to your new favorite trail? Taking the
kayaks out for a quiet day on the water? Packing the car for
another weekend camping trip? Don't leave anything behind; Bring
It® with a CURT trailer hitch! CURT class 1 trailer hitches are
the perfect way to add extra storage space to your vehicle for
all events, activities and adventures. For compact cars, sedans
and crossovers, a class 1 hitch provides a functional rear
receiver tube for attaching a hitch-ed cargo carrier or bike
rack or for towing a light-duty trailer. Class 1 receiver hitches
make it easy to pack the things you want without having to cram
the trunk or even the backseat full of cargo. Like all CURT
custom trailer hitches, each class 1 trailer hitch is designed to
fit a specific vehicle application. A vehicle-specific design
ensures the best possible fit with the simplest and most secure
installation. This particular class 1 hitch offers a custom fit
for certain years of the Volkswagen Passat (to verify vehicle
compatibility, see the application information or use the Vehicle
Lookup tool). The custom-fit design optimizes the installation to
eliminate all unnecessary modifications, and it promotes an
integrated look with the vehicle’s existing design features and
layout. This Volkswagen Passat hitch is rated to tow up to 2,000
lbs. gross trailer weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight. This makes
it an excellent choice for any cargo carrier or bike rack as well
as a variety of lightweight trailers (never exceed the
lowest-rated towing component). It features a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"
receiver tube to accept a ball or other trailer hitch
accessories. The hitch receiver tube also has an open back to
allow for easy cleaning as needed. To ensure the safety of you
and your passengers, as well as your fellow adventurers on the
road, each CURT trailer hitch has been stringently tested in
accordance with SAE J684. We maintain a dedicated Engineering
facility near Detroit, MI -- the heart of the automotive industry
-- to test all of our hitches to strictest safety standards. Our
in-house testing technology allows for real-time, on-vehicle
testing, placing our hitches under the same stresses present in
actual towing conditions. This gives us the utmost confidence in
each trailer hitch we make and provides you with a dependable
tool to freely pursue your passions. Every CURT custom trailer
hitch receiver -- from class 1 to class 5 -- is manufactured
right here in the USA to ensure quality from design to finish
(may include imported hardware). Our hitches are engineered using
real vehicles and a hands-on approach. We fabricate our hitches
using a combination of robotic and manual welding for optimum
precision and speed. Finally, we finish each trailer hitch with a
unique co-curing process. First, we immerse the hitch in a
rust-resistant liquid A-coat to coat the entire piece inside and
out. Then, a durable black powder coat is applied to seal out
rain, dirt, road salt and other threats. Finally, these two
coatings are co-cured together, creating an industry-leading
rust, chip and UV-resistant finish. To give you complete
confidence mile after mile, all CURT tow hitches are backed by a
limited lifetime warranty. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Shipping Weight
